Trial summary

The overall goal of this project is to investigate the diagnostic performance of integrated F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and Dual Energy CT (DECT) imaging in determining the thoracic nodal status of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its impact… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigators plan to recruit a total of 50 individuals (male, female; age range 18-90 years) referred to undergo a clinically indicated PET-CT examination. Patients will be identified from the Radiology department schedule. With the proposed 50 patient data set, the investigators are neither targeting nor avoiding the selective recruitment of women and minorities. Given the narrow inclusion criteria, the investigators plan to recruit patients irrespective of demographics. The patient will be approached by IRB-approved study personnel under the direction of one of the licensed physician investigators listed on the study, either prior to or on the day of the planned PET-CT examination (a single study visit, with the objective to perform the clinically indicated imaging), with a full explanation and request for consent as required by the IRB. MUSC policies regarding patient consent will be followed. The study design is not randomized.

About this study

Official title: Application of Integrated PET and Dual Energy CT Imaging for Staging and Imaged Based Radiotherapy Treatment Planning in Lung Cancer

The overall goal of this project is to investigate the diagnostic performance of integrated F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and Dual Energy CT (DECT) imaging in determining the thoracic nodal status of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its impact on target volume delineation for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) planning.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PET-CT accuracy for lung tumor and thoracic adenopathy detection

    Knowledge gained during this study may potentially allow for an improvement in PET-CT accuracy for lung tumor and thoracic adenopathy detection, and for a more accurate definition of the RT target, decreasing the radiation dose delivered to normal tissue.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PET CT, run by Medical University of South Carolina at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Recruit completed). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PET-CT accuracy for lung tumor and thoracic adenopathy detection (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2018.
